"Gender, Work and Space" explores how boundaries are constructed
between women and men, and among women living in different
neighborhoods. Focusing on work, the segregation of men and women
into different occupations, and variations in women's work
experiences in various parts of the city, the authors argue that
these differences are grounded, are constituted in and through
space, place and situated networks.
The authors use a case study of a contemporary city to establish
that many women are dependent on extremely local employment
opportunities, especially those women with heavy household
responsibilities. Women's dependence on locally available jobs
focuses attention on the existence of different employment
districts throughout the city. The argument is that social,
economic and geographic boundaries are overlaid and intertwined.
This book contributes to debates about the geography of labor
market segmentation, to our understanding of sex-based occupational
segregation and, in the close attention given to the construction
of social, geographic, economic and symbolic boundaries in ordinary
lives, provides a counterbalance to the focus on mobility within
contemporary feminist theory.
